Didn’t have pets but quarantine policies lengthy, stringent and expensive. One family even left dog behind with parents in the States as a result. - Sep 2021
There are a couple of kennels. There is a four-week quarantine - talk to the Reykjavik Community Liaison Office or the Overseas Briefing Center at State for more details. Some people have imported pets but it is expensive and takes a lot of planning. Pets are rarely allowed in apartment buildings. - Nov 2017
I don't have a pet, but gather that the city regulations about having a pet in town (e.g. in an apartment) are extremely strict. Ask before you get here! - Jun 2015
There is a dog quarantine here, but the kennel is like a posh doggie hotel and I hear they are very while cared for. - Feb 2013
Yes, a 4-week quarantine must be arranged before the pet is allowed in country, at your expense. - Jul 2011
